Golden Horn Dispersed

Great campground just 10 minutes from Silverton. Several spots are right next to a small stream, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The vault toilet helped us conserve water, and we used the public shower/bathroom in Silverton, which was very convenient. It's also close to many hiking trails, making it a great base for outdoor activities.

Loved this spot! Many spots along the road. Wildlife viewings were great. Starlink works amazing. 10/10

Found a great dispersed campsite near Silverton Co. Golden Horn dispersed camping area is located about 5 miles from Silverton Co.  This camping area is at 9600' elevation.   Head north on HWY 550 out of Silverton and turn onto FSR 585 along South Mineral Creek, There are several boondocking sites packed into this 5 mile stretch. This time of year (July), many are occupied and full. We arrived on a Thursday morning to find only one space available at this dispersed campground. Sites are covered in river rock. Nothing is level, so bring the right gear to manage that if it's important to you. There is a vault toilet, bring your own tp. Generators hum all day and deep into the night. T-Mobile 5G/4G somewhat available.    Access to several trails are nearby. Recommend off-road capable vehicle to get to Rico-Silverton trailhead.

This is a no frill campground. There are toilets. No fire pits, tables, electric, water, or dump available. Bring your own fire pit or use the make shift rock fire pits left by others. Verizon service was sketchy at best or plane none existent. We fit in a super C (semi truck rv) 41ftL x 13.5ftH with 30ft trailer without having to unhook. Right by the river. 2022

Location is insane. Silverton is a small town 4 Miles away that you can stock up before heading out. Scenery at the camp sites is amazing. Cold at night, was here mid October. Loved it

Dispersed sites on the way to Ice Lake(which is currently closed due to forest fire Devistation). These are kinda cool little sites, a bit rocky, with a vault toilet and nice stone fire rings. It’s next to the creek, so it might be a bit buggy. I was dive bombed by hummingbirds. The limit is 14 days, and most staying here seemed to be using as many as they could. Close to Silverton. Expect some construction traffic and noise as they rebuild a campground that burned to the ground in the forest fire.
